I know there have been half a dozen threads over the tabs and chords for xiu xiu songs, but I was thinking maybe we could all put them in one convinient thread, maybe with a nice ToC on the main post so people won't have to go through pages.

great idea... feel free to add onto this thread if you find/work out any tabs/chords... and if you find corrections, let me know...

"The album version of I Broke Up is a bitch to figure out, but when they play it live, Jamie just plays Am-C-G in a weird 3/4 pattern with the occassional G-Am-Bm thrown in.

Here's the songs I know.

Part (if not all) of the chorus to Hives Hives is C-G-Em (and then maybe back to G, I don't really remember.)

I Luv the Valley OH!

this beautiful song was finally figured adapted to a live setting with high-pitched stringed instruments including mandolin and autoharp. (emulated with a high capo)touching me deeply in the live setting, i decided to transcribe the guitar to the best of my knowledge.
